Foreign News: Progress

What fuming motorists have long suspected, Britain's Royal Automobile
Club last week confirmed. Looking up old records, the R.A.C. discovered
that on the busiest of mornings in 1905, two-horse broughams could
clip-clop down Piccadilly, from Hyde Park Corner to the Circus, at 14.8
m.p.h. Then the R.A.C. measured the crawl of motorcars through today's
congested Piccadilly traffic. Average speed: 6.2 m.p.h.
